1Chapter 7- saying hello
Brennan
You sit there on the couch fiddling with the piece of paper you wrote his number on debating whether or not you wanted to call him. Finally deciding that no matter how long you put it off, the result will be the same, you pick up the phone and dial the number. After the third ring you start to wonder what to say if you have to leave a voice mail. Sure enough after the 6th ring the automatic voicemail comes on saying that he is currently unavailable and to leave a message after the beat.
You panic, unsure of what to say. You quickly say your phone number and hang up, not knowing whether or not you left your name or if he would call you back. You must have sounded crazy. Oh well, at least you called, for a minute you hope that he wouldn't but then realized that would not solve your problems.
Not even fifteen minutes later your cell is ringing, flashing a number you do not recognized. You don't know how but you know it's him. Sighing you brace yourself and answer with a quick brisk "Brennan."
"Bones-," You suck in a quick breath, memories flashing through you mind of better times when he used to call you that daily "I'm sorry, so sorry, please can we meet somewhere and talk."
"If it was just about me I would say no, but Ange is right, Celia deserves to know why you are not around. I deserve to know why you are not around."
"I'm sorry."
"STOP IT! Stop saying that. It's not helping anything!"
"I'm sor- alright I'll stop."
"Meet me at the Lincoln Memorial in two hours." As soon as you hear him agree you hang up. You wish it was already over and done with already, but you wanted to let Celia sleep some more before taking her over to Angela's.
AN: Sorry this took so long to update. Anyway's next chapter is where they actually meet up again. I wanted to get this posted at least since it's been a while and if I waited for the next part I'm not sure when it would be posted.
